Documentation Overview
NetGrant — Canadian funding, inside your AI
NetGrant is a free, public MCP server (and web app) for searching 1,300+ live Canadian funding opportunities — grants, tax credits, wage subsidies, accelerators, pitch competitions, loans, and events. Ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to find, compare, and check eligibility for Canadian funding without leaving the conversation.

Weekly email digest
Beyond live search, NetGrant offers a free opt-in weekly email digest: tell the assistant the niche you're tracking (keywords + province), give your email, and you'll get 8–10 matching Canadian grants each week — newest first, falling back to the strongest current matches. Double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe.
